Um…maybe we shouldn’t have thrown away the assembly instructions for this puppy. Not sure this matches the picture on the box… 🤪

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

12 28.25 Moo Deng (Khao Kheow Open Zoo) update - in the evening, was being bouncy, nursed, then was relaxing in the white tub, was fully moisturized, unbothered by the close-ups, then came to say bye to her keeper who was getting off work, and was handfed leaves💜

Have to admit, this is the right take.
Congratulations to pop tart for their popular ad campaign, but I am reserving judgement for when they are no longer selling chemical sugar goo inside of a stale cracker with a nutritional value lesser than the cash used to purchase them.

Displacement of the trauma we all experienced from this pandemic has been exploited in so many ways, but the mainstreaming of COVID contrarianism in the pages of @newyorker.com is a sad affair. 8/

So true. In all weather. No matter how you’re feeling.
Newfound respect for apartment dwellers with dogs. You have to put on actual clothes and take that pup outside to the big public world every single morning, often before you’ve had coffee. How.

Nothing like a good cup of coffee and this album to kick off the day! "Don't Say No" by #BillySquier was one of the best rock albums of 1981 in my opinion. Features the mega hit "The Stroke", "In The Dark" and "Lonely Is The Night".
Who else has this classic???
